Edited. Ohhh I forgot that Sasuke was normal in this story. Aw well he's RICH okay?
I was too lazy to change it if he was normal.
Another hella long chapter that you don't have to read...
It's just ALL about the science project. No classes are included.
OHHH
Oh and wish change.
'I wish...Gaara would come like he said he would,' Sakura said to herself.
'I wish...that the year would be fun here in Konoha,' Sasuke said to himself.
Konoha High
Chapter 5
Edited 5.28.07
I found a minor mistake. So I just added this::
"Oh well let's just say...you gotta learn to trust Naruto a bit more with Hinata."
"Don't tell me..."
"...Yep. They're a couple too," she playfully said. They weren't really a couple...Yet. Tenten wanted to play around and mess with Neji for a bit.
Science Projects Part 1
She and Ino walked to their lockers just as any other student would do at the end of the day. After her first day in Konoha High, Sakura knew she'd already like it there. The two walked in silence, but had finally arrived.
While Sakura was putting her stuff away, she overheard another student talk about the science project that was assigned from Jaraiya Sensei. OH YEAH! THE SCIENCE PROJECT! she thought to herself.
But, she wasn't the only person who heard this. Of course, everyone near the student heard this as well. The Uchiha too forgot the project, and was instantly reminded by that kid.
"Hey, dobe?" the raven-haired boy said to the guy next to him as he put his books away.
"Yeah?" Naruto said as he turned to him to him.
"Who's your partner for the science project? I wasn't there to be it."
They worked together every single project they had for the subject, until now.
Sasuke was only absent the day before because he just had to go to a family reunion.
Otherwise he's never late, nor absent.
"Hinata," he replied.
"How are you gonna do the project?" Sasuke asked in a low voice.
"What do you mean? He already explained it," Naruto said stupidly. After he heard this, Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"No, Naruto," he said calmly and patiently. "I meant...how are you going to do the project with Hinata?"
Suddenly a bulb went on top Naruto's head. He gave a huge grin.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! He's not used to having a girl come over or going over to a girl's house! Heck, he's not even used to having a girl partner! Or a girl friend (A/N: just friends. Don't get it twisted.)! I, on the other hand, am fine with Hinata cuhz we're really good buddies! Man, sometimes I feel bad for him! the pineapple thought to himself.
"Well, Sasuke," he said in a seductive voice, which the Uchiha found a bit creepy.
"..."
"I'm coming over to Hinata's house."
DAMMIT I THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN, the Uchiha said to himself. He knew it was either him or Sakura that was coming over. He really wasn't looking forward to that.
"Ariite." Sasuke said with a sigh and a really disappointed look on his face.
Naruto, after noticing his action, just laughed inwardly even more. He tried very hard to hold his laughter inside. He didn't want to get a beating from Sasuke. Last time, it hurt so badly that he didn't want that to happen again.
Then there was nothing but silence, and the two of them went back to putting their stuff back in their lockers.
After she got her book bag, the pink-haired girl walked over to Sasuke's locker.
"U-Um Sasuke?" she said innocently.
He looked up at the owner of the voice and stood up. He closed his locker and put on his book bag on at the same time. Naruto and Neji heard the voice well. They perked up to listen at their conversation.
"About the project..." she continued.
"You're coming over," he interrupted and said in a plain voice.
Sasuke what're you doing!?!?! That's not how you talk to Sakura-chanl!!! Naruto said to himself. He really wanted to say this out loud but Sakura was there. It was as if Naruto was better at talking to girls than the Uchiha was, and at this case, it was a bit true.
"U-Uhm okay but uh where do you live?"
"I'll drive you now. Let's go."
"Wait but I have a cat to feed," Sakura said.
So she has a cat too, Sasuke said to himself. "Hn."
Then he took out his book bag and put it on the floor. He opened up the zippers and ripped out a piece of notebook paper and a writing utensil. He handed these in to Sakura. "Write your address and I'll pick you up in ten."
"Oh-Okay." Sakura did as told, unwillingly. She felt bad she had to let Sasuke drive her to his own house. She could just go there herself! But knowing the Uchiha, she couldn't say 'no' for some reason.
After she wrote the address, she handed back the pen and notebook the Uchiha gave.
"Alright I'll see you then!" she said as she walked backwards to leave.
"Hn."
That was...smooth, Uchiha, Neji said to himself with a smirk.
W-Wow. Maybe he CAN talk to Sakura-chan like that after all, Naruto said to himself.
When Sakura finally got out of school, she went straight into the parking lot and went in her car without interruption. On her way home, she drove peacefully.
---
When Sakura had arrived at her house, the first thing she did was drop her book bag to the floor.
"SNOWBELL!" she yelled out as she closed the door behind her.
After hearing the sound of her master's voice, Snowbell ran up to Sakura and purred against her leg. Sakura chucked and picked her up in her arms. "You must be hungry! Come on, let's get you something!" she said as she walked up to the kitchen.
When they arrived to the kitchen, the pink-haired girl slowly put down her cat and opened up the cabinets. She got the cat food, prepared it, and let the cat eat. She then got Snowbell's water bowl and filled it up with water from the sink. She put the water bowl next to the food bowl. "There," she said.
Since she had about five minutes left she decided to just relax a bit. She sat at her couch just thinking what happened today.
Ding-Dong
"OHhh that must be Sasuke. Listen Snowbell, I gotta go. I'll be back," she announced.
She went over to her book bag near the door and picked it up. She opened the door as she put the book bag on her shoulders. When she opened it, she found the one and only Uchiha Sasuke standing in front of her. "Hey Sasuke," she said in an innocent voice.
"Hey. Fed your cat?"
"Yeah let's go."
"Hn."
Sasuke went down her doorsteps and walked to his motorcycle. Sakura went outside and locked her door. As soon as she turned around after locking it, the first thing she saw was a motorcycle.
"S-Sasuke? We're not riding in that, are we?" she said with a nervous chuckle as she went down her doorsteps and followed Sasuke.
"Yah. We are," he said with a smirk as he hopped in his ride. "Get in," he said as he started the engine.
She didn't want to complain because she wanted to prove Sasuke she could do this. She didn't want to complain that her jeans were tight and didn't stretch. But, because of her bravery, she hopped on. She just hoped her pants didn't rip.
After seeing this, the Uchiha was impressed. He thought she would bail and complain and whine like any girl would do. But he was proved wrong.
"Uhm..." she said nervously. The two were just sitting there, and Sakura had her hands beside her. She knew she was supposed to grab his waist so she doesn't fall but...yeah. It was really uncomfortable. Sakura blushed. She really didn't know what to do.
Sasuke noticed what Haruno was trying to say. He rolled his eyes and smirked at the same time. He knew he had to make the first move and be the 'man'. So, he grabbed her hands and put it around his waist. "There," he said, making her job way easier for him.
Sakura remained speechless, and turned that blush deep red. Good thing that the Uchiha couldn't see this, and she was very glad for it too.
Sasuke drove slowly for a couple seconds, and Sakura was completely satisfied with that speed. But as Sasuke rode faster and faster, Sakura then felt like she should complain. But she just can't do that! She needed to prove it to him that she didn't need help for once! Instead, Sakura couldn't help but tighten her hug more. She was really scared to fall.
Feeling this, the Uchiha smirked. He didn't ride faster on purpose. That was just his normal speed.
A couple minutes later they arrived at the Uchiha's place. The Uchiha stopped his motorcycle and parked it. After the stop, he really thought Sakura would let go. But she didn't. She was still holding on to him, very, very, tightly and was also leaning her head on his shoulders.
"Sakura," he said plainly and calmly.
"Hm?" she said at a high-pitch. Her eyes were still closed but when she finally realized they stopped, she was really first of all relieved. She was glad the ride was over. But she also realized the position she was in and gave a hint of blush. "O-Oh," she said as she let go her arms away from his waist and lifted her head back up. "S-Sorry."
"Don't worry about it. Let's go in," he said as he got off the motorcycle. Sakura, after seeing him get off, really wanted to get off as well. She was nervous she was going to do a sloppy job doing it, but she got off with ease. After she turned around to follow the Uchiha, what she noticed first was the big mansion in front of her. This was absolutely nothing compared to all the houses she had seen before. That's when she realized he was rich. But, she knew better not to judge him like that. She knew better this wasn't going to affect anything.
The two of them walked side by side in the path to the front door in silence. Sakura could just gaze at the mansion in shock. She really was speechless.
But her daydreaming soon ended. Sasuke was opening the front door and her little moment she had was now focused back on reality. Sasuke finished opening the door and stood aside. Noticing the signal, Sakura went in, just standing there and waiting for Sasuke. Sasuke then closed the door behind her and said, "Follow me to my room."
He turned around to his science partner and started to lead Sakura to his bedroom. Sakura followed behind him. The two went upstairs, but on the way there they also found another person walking the opposite direction as they were.
Sakura looked at the person as he walked down. He very looked like much like Sasuke. He just looked way older than him and also had a ponytail.
"Hello, brother," Itachi said. "Who's she?"
"Just a friend from school. We're doing a project. Don't bother us," Sasuke said as he passed Itachi on the stairs and continued to go up. Sakura remained quiet. This wasn't her conversation. She just followed Sasuke up the stairs. But, she did think that was a bit rude. Itachi noticed his little brother's behavior too.
"Alright. Well miss. Excuse me for my little brother's behavior. My name's Itachi." Itachi said simply. "And you are...?"
After she heard this, Sakura stopped herself from going further up the stairs and turned to Itachi. Sasuke did likewise. "Sakura," the pink-haired girl replied with a smile.
"It was nice meeting you," he said.
"You too."
"Come on, Sakura," Sasuke said, 'interrupting' the two of them. "Let's go."
Sakura turned back to Sasuke and followed him further up.
Itachi continued his walk down the stairs.
Finally, the two of them arrived to the front Sasuke's bedroom. Sasuke opened the door and Sakura went in. "Make yourself comfortable," he said as he closed the door.
Sakura looked at the large bedroom in front of her. It included a huge bed, a laptop, a plasma TV, a small couch, a huge closet, a guitar, a couple paintings, a X-Box, a tall stack of games for the x-box, and a huge glass door in the middle of the left side of the room that lead to a balcony. From the balcony you could see the whole backyard of the mansion.
For Sakura, it was be the bedroom she dreamt of! ((PSH THE AUTHOR TOO! CHYEAH!))
She didn't know where to start! First she wanted to go to the balcony and look at the scenery outside. It was a really nice day, and the breeze was perfect.
But she had to keep herself calm. She told herself not to freak out and go all over the place telling Sasuke how every single object in his room was cool. So, she summed it up in two words. "Nice room," she said.
"Hn."
But what really stood out to her was the painting of what seemed to be his parents and him as a baby. It was the whole centerpiece of the room that hung over his bed, and was really large too. She knew she'd talk about that later.

Flashback
"Hey Hinata!" Naruto said as he got up to her, walking beside to her at the same time. Hinata had just gotten from her locker and walked to the hallway to go home.
"O-Oh hey Naruto!" she said.
"Is it fine with you if I bought my cup ramen back home and brought it to your house for a snack or something?"
"U-Uh sure."
"' Kay I'll bring you one too." Before she could say something, Naruto beat her to it and said, 'Alright. See ya!' and ran home.
End Flashback
Ding-Dong
"O-Oh th-that's N-Naruto. I-I'll get it," she said as she rushed down the stairs. She had just gone upstairs in her bedroom to clean it up and make sure it was perfect for Naruto's arrival.
"So Naruto's coming over too, huh?" Tenten said as she was flipping pages on the encyclopedia. Tenten was Neji's science project partner. She came over at the Hyuugas' house not too long ago.
"Yeah. H-He's m-my s-science p-partner," Hinata replied. She made it down to the living room and opened the front door.
Hinata and Naruto had a look at each other. Hinata noticed that Naruto was holding the 2 cup ramen he talked about earlier. But, he didn't care to bring anything else...not even any of his materials from school. "Hey Hinata!" Naruto said with a wide smile.
"H-Hey N-Naruto. C-Come in," Hinata said. She stepped aside and Naruto went in. As soon as he did, Hinata closed the door behind him.
When as the dobe stepped foot at the house, he noticed at the surroundings and saw Neji and Tenten on the couch. "...Oh hey Neji and Tenten!" Man I should've brought more ramen...I don't have enough!
"Hey Naruto," Tenten said as she looked up at him from her book, but then looked back down. She was about to ask why he brought ramen with him but then again, it was pretty obvious.
"Yo," Neji simply said. He didn't bother to look up. Instead, he just kept reading on his own science book doing his part of the project.
"So you guys are partners, huh?"
"Yep," Tenten replied as she wrote down some facts from the encyclopedia on her notebook.
"Unfortunately," Neji said in a low voice and a sigh at the same time. After she heard this, Tenten gave her a playful nudge on his arm. "Kidding."
"You know, you guys make a great couple," Naruto said teasingly. After she heard this, Tenten gave a light blush. Neji had a smirk. He took that as a compliment.
"Yep. We do." Tenten's blush came a little bit darker. N-Neji shut up, she said to herself.
"S-So N-Naruto, l-let's g-go in my r-room," Hinata spoke up. It's not like she was enthusiastic or something...right? They just had to go in her room to work on the project.
"Arrite," Naruto said. The two did so and walked upstairs. They got up to the bedroom and entered.
Naruto threw the ramen on Hinata's bed. "Wow Hinata you're room's really clean," Naruto complimented. "...More than mine!" ((How shocking!))
"...U-Uh thanks I g-guess..." Hinata said.
"So what do you think we should do for the project?"
"Uhm L-let's just get a b-bunch of info about what J-Jaraiya Sensei suggested," Hinata said. "I c-can look up s-some information up in the I-Internet and y-you can uh get that poster against the w-wall and do the heading."
"Okay."
Naruto went over to the said poster and laid it out on the floor. Hinata got some markers from a table and gave it to Naruto to write with. Then she went to the laptop to search some information, and Naruto did the heading.
He plainly wrote in the middle of the page:
The Beach
By: Naruto Uzumaki
and
Hinata Hyuuga
Period 2 Science- Jaraiya Sensei
Naruto was finished in about thirty seconds, and went up to Hinata to see what she was doing. He stood right behind her and looked over her shoulders at the computer screen.
"So Hinata, what else should I do?" asked a bored Naruto.
"Oh you can-" Hinata said as she turned to Naruto. Her sentence got cut off...when then their lips met.
That direction to where she turned was to the direction where Naruto was, and both their lips brushed.
But at the same time they had the accidental kiss, someone opened the door with a loud noise.
Alarmed, both Hinata and Naruto quickly broke it off with a deep red blush. Hinata was speechless. Naruto likewise.
Hinata and Naruto then quickly turned their focus to the door, still a little jumpy. They felt like they were having a heart attack due to the sudden loudness of it. But their main worry was at who saw them. They hoped it wasn't Neji because if he did, they would get into deep trouble- being Hinata's over protective brother. He'll give a beating to Naruto almost as bad as Sasuke himself would give.
They had 50-50 percent chance of the person being Tenten, and their luck came through.
"OMFG YOU GUYS!!" Tenten yelled out. She came to bring 2 cups of coke for Hinata and Naruto. Since she and Neji had a drink, they thought the two upstairs should get one too. But deez she was in shock after what she had seen. The two were right in front of her!
Wow she had the wrong timing. If she had come a second earlier, she would've gotten to see the whole story.
Naruto and Hinata rapidly said, "SHHHHHHH!" Tenten noticed that her voice was loud enough for Neji to hear downstairs, and she quickly shut her mouth.
What was that all about? Neji thought to himself after he heard the noise upstairs. Never mind. I'll just ask later. Don't feel like getting up.
Tenten closed the door with her elbow since each hand was holding a cup of soda. "...Okay so you wanna tell me what just happened?" she asked in a regular voice as she turned to the two. She stood there and looked at them with a grin. Naruto and Hinata found this annoying.
"Well uhm I asked Hinata a question and I was right behind her and she turned back to me to answer but when she did we kinda-" Before Naruto could finish, Tenten understood and didn't want to hear anymore.
"Okay thanks that's enough info. Well anyway, here's your sodas in case if you wanted some," Tenten said. She put the cups of sodas on the laptop table. "...and I'll just leave you two alone."
She sounded like she took it differently, and she did that on purpose. Hinata knew this...and oddly Naruto did too.
Tenten closed the door and went back downstairs. Naruto and Hinata went back to the project, and the two of them still blushed and never brought up that topic once again.
When Tenten got settled in and sat next to Neji again, Neji couldn't wait to ask the question he had been holding. "Tenten," he said sternly.
"Yeah?"
"What the hell was that upstairs?" he said in a straight face.
"What're you talking about?" she said in an innocent voice. Oh man his worry-ness is starting to come up again.
"That yell you had..." he said patiently.
"Oh well let's just say...you gotta learn to trust Naruto a bit more with Hinata."
"Don't tell me..."
"...Yep. They're a couple too," she playfully said. They weren't really a couple...Yet. Tenten wanted to play around and mess with Neji for a bit.
"No that's not what I meant. What the hell were they doing- WAIT THEY'RE GOING OUT?!?" he yelled with wide eyes.
Neji stood up from the couch; about to go up to the two of them and beat the crap out of Naruto, but Tenten pulled him back down. "Whoa chill. They kissed but by accident. Naruto called her and Hinata turned back at his direction and that's when they kissed. Total accident. And yes, Neji, they're a couple like you and me. You gotta let go, Neji-kun."
Neji was silenced. It was true. He didn't let his sister date in the past years. He'd been overprotective of her. Plus that was the first time Tenten had said his name like that. Neji-kun.
"Hn."
---
Thirty minutes later...Naruto suddenly felt the need to eat ramen. "Hey Hinata! I'm gonna heat my ramen. You want yours now?"
The voice made her turn away from the laptop and look at Naruto.
Well I never really wanted any, Hinata thought to herself. "Uh s-sure Naruto."
"OKAY!" The blonde got up and stopped writing something down for the project. He walked to Hinata's bed to get the ramen he threw earlier. He got it and went downstairs.
"Hey Neji!" he said.
"..." Neji didn't bother to look at Naruto. He was too busy on the project. But Tenten looked up.
"You got a pot? I need to cook these ramen!"
"Look in the bottom cabinet," Neji replied.
" Kay," the pineapple said as he walked to the kitchen.
"...Uh hold on Neji," Tenten said. Neji gave a light 'hn', not really caring to where she was going. Tenten got up from the couch. She wanted to talk about something with Naruto.
She went up to the kitchen and found Naruto standing in front of the stove waiting for the water to boil. "Naruto," Tenten whispered next to him.
Naruto turned to the voice. "Oh hey Tenten!"
"Shh..." If Neji finds out I'm pushing these two then I'll get in trouble, she thought to herself. Better make this quick. Naruto wondered why Tenten wanted to keep silent, but he just decided to drop it. "Hey do you like Hinata?" she said, getting straight to the point.
"Yeah but I'm not sure if she likes me back..." he said in a low voice.
OH MY GAWD, Tenten thought to herself. I KNEW IT! HE DOES LIKE HER!
"Oh please Naruto. It's so obvious. Ask her yourself...and if she says yes then you should ask her to the dance. Arrite I gotta go back to Neji. Just...think about it." With that said, Tenten left to go back with Neji.
What if she doesn't like me?
He was in fear of...
Rejection.
Like any one else would.
Aw well. It's better to take a chance, right?
Then he remembered this story that Kurenai made his class read.
A/N: You may know this, you may not. Anyway I think the story's cute.
It said;
10th grade
As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
11th grade
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Senior Year
The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she doesn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Graduation Day
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "You're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
A Few Years Later
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Funeral
Years passed; I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! I wish I did too... I thought to my self, and I cried.
That story made Naruto cry nonstop, until Kurenai got super annoyed and took some sense into him.
He.Would.Never.Let.That.Happen.To.Him.And.Hinata.
After thinking of that story, he got his confidence back somehow.
---
"Hey Hinata. I got our ramen," he said, maintaining his peppy voice. Ever since he talked with Tenten, he had been thinking hard about it...and made a decision.
He closed the door and went to the girl, who was still found on the computer. He handed the ramen and the fork to Hinata.
"O-Oh th-thanks Naruto," Hinata said with a smile as she took them out of his hands. Naruto got into serious mode.
Hinata was about to go work back into the laptop, but Naruto stopped her. "Hinata," he said in a straight voice. Hinata looked back at him, wondering what he wanted.
"Y-Yeah?"
"D-Do you like me?"
Suddenly Hinata blushed hard. H-How'd he know? Did anyone tell him?
Silence came across the two of them.
"...Well u-uhm..." She put her face down and looked at the floor. "...Y-yeah..." she confessed in a soft voice.
So she does like me...Naruto thought to himself. "Well see...I like you too," he admitted. He thought if Hinata came clean then he should too. Hinata looked back up at Naruto with a smile. H-He does? Hinata thought to herself, still shocked of what she just heard out of Naruto's mouth.
"Y-You do?" Hinata asked in the most innocent voice.
"Yeah...So I was wondering...if you would you like to go to the dance with me?"
"S-Sure!" she said in a sparkling voice. After they just admitted their love for each other, Hinata put her cup of ramen down on the laptop table next to the cokes and got up from the chair.
Surprisingly to Naruto, she spread her arms out wide and quickly hugged Naruto...tightly. Feeling this, Naruto gave a small smile and hugged her back, but lightly.
"I love you, Hinata," Naruto whispered. I don't want those two people in the story to be us, Hinata.
"I love you too Naruto."
Who knew Naruto could be so...romantic?
---
3 hours later, the three groups were finished with their projects.
"Sasuke, can I look outside in your balcony? It's so beautiful" the cherry blossom said. She had wanted to do this for a long time now, ever since she came in his room. The bright sun earlier had turned into sunset, and the breeze was a bit cooler. The sun had cast the sky into an orange color, and overall she thought the night was gorgeous. This was her first time seeing this, and she had never gotten the chance before. She was always too late to see it and always missed the moment. This was very rare to see for Sakura.
"Hn," the Uchiha replied as he put some materials they had used for the poster project away.
Sakura gave a smile and walked to the balcony in a graceful manner. She opened the glass doors in front of her and walked all the way in the front of the balcony until she had reached her limit. She held the railing while gazing in the horizon at the same time, and feeling the cool breeze that came across her skin.
A minute later Sasuke finished cleaning up everything they had used for the poster. He saw the pink-haired girl looking out into the sunset and he thought he should join her.
He walked up next to her and put his hands in his pockets, looking out into the view in front of him likewise.
"Hey do people make a wish on sunsets?" Sakura asked after she felt Sasuke's presence. She didn't look at him but instead kept her eyes straight in front of the view.
"..No," the Uchiha replied.
"Oh well I guess I'll be the first to make one. Oh you should make one too."
This time she turned her attention out of the sunset and looked at Sasuke. "Come on let's do it at the same time," Sakura pleaded.
Sasuke looked at the girl since she was looking at him. Sakura's emerald eyes met with Sasuke's onyx ones. Both gleamed, and reflected the little amount of light from sunset. Weird but...Why not? Sasuke thought to himself. "Hn," he said.
Sakura turned back to the horizon and closed her eyes. Sasuke looked at the person next to him and found her eyes closed. Seeing this, he gave a smirk and oddly closed his eyes too. He wouldn't want to miss this moment. "'Kay ready...set...go." Both of them took a breath in and started their wish.
'I wish...Gaara would come like he said he would,' Sakura said to herself.
'I wish...that the year would be fun here in Konoha,' Sasuke said to himself.
Sasuke finished making his wish and at the same time, Sakura did too. Both opened their eyes and just enjoyed the moment. "It's really a nice night," Sakura said.
"Hn."
After spending a couple minutes in peaceful silence, the sun wasn't anywhere to be seen anymore, and the show was over. Sakura once again spoke up, turning to Sasuke in the process. "O-Oh I have to go. Snowbell's gonna get lonely and it's really getting late."
Sasuke looked back at the owner of the voice. "...Snowbell?"
"It's my cat."
"Hn. I'll give you a ride."
"'Kay thanks."
---
When they got into the garage, Sasuke was about to hop over to his motorcycle again. But, he looked at Sakura who was a few steps behind him and her face showed that she didn't like this idea one bit. He gave a smirk and this time, Sasuke got off the motorcycle and instead walked over to his Phantom, which was right next to it. Sakura gave a smile and the two sat in the front.
---
"Okay thank you Sasuke!" Sakura said in a cheery voice as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Hn." What the hell should I do now?
From what he'd seen in movies, he got out of the car. Sakura did likewise. Sasuke started to follow her up to her doorsteps, with panic rising up. The two walked up to the doorsteps in awkward silence, and made it to Sakura's front door.
